[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]New registration record for the BC, in its 14 divisions. The absence of several stars, such as Justify and Good Magic, left the door open for several candidates and resulted in the largest number of entries in the history of the BC.
They reached 246 the ballots of copies for the great event, amount that far exceeded the 229 that marked the pattern in Santa Anita in 2014, when all California was under the furor caused by his idol California Chrome.
For the BC Classic, there are 19 applicants of which only two of them scored another race as a second option. The panel composed of distinguished International Racing Secretaries who make up the jury to designate the groups of the 14 stellar events of the first weekend of the month of November will be in charge of all this.
It will be the 9th. BC that Churchill Downs organizes, tying Santa Anita, who will take the lead next year to once again host the event. In 2020 Keeneland will open its doors and in 2021 Del Mar will be in long tablecloths.
The last time the BC was held at Churchill Downs, the triumph went to Blame, who was ridden by Garret Gómez (qepd) in that unforgettable final in which he defeated the great favorite Zenyatta, who marked the career of Mike Smith as one of the great failures of the whip, because he will never stop lamenting because he did not move before the retinta.
Since we are talking about Santa Anita, write down in your agenda that you will extend your season one more week, since you will have programming for Friday 2, Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 November. After that Del Mar will enter with a mini season that will start on November 9th.
Until next time![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
